MIDDLETON, WIS.  — Foremost Farms USA is partnering with Ginkgo Bioworks to reduce the dairy industry’s overall carbon footprint. The partnership will enable domestic, sustainable biomanufacturing of materials from dairy co-products, according to the company.

Ginkgo will develop a new technology platform that may help upcycle dairy co-products and in return, provide an environmentally friendly alternative to wasteful and carbon-intensive chemical production, according to Foremost Farms USA.
